The undignified end of the Universal Movie Monsters
30 December 2012
Kind of mixed on this one. A&C were one of the great comedy acts of the 1940's and 50's. This film takes the classic Universal Movie Monsters, already reduced to so much camp in the awful mash-up sequels (Frankenstein meets the Wolfman, House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, House of Pancakes.) I give Lugosi and Chaney credit for playing their characters straight. At least the set lighting and atmospherics are great in this film.

The end result. A&C would go on to take out the other Universal Horror classic monsters (The Invisible Man, the Mummy, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde) while those franchise ended.

Ah, if only we could bring them back to take out Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers, not to mention the ubiquitous zombie movies.
